According to The Chicago Tribune's Mark Gonzales, Chicago White Sox SP Mark Buehrle pitched at least six innings for his 48th consecutive start, tying SP Jack McDowell's club mark set in 1992-93. Hall of Fame left-hander Steve Carlton owns the next longest mark with 69 from 1979 to 1982 for Philadelphia.

The Houston Chronicle's Jose De Jesus Ortiz reports Houston Astros SP Roger Clemens recorded his 329th career win Friday, April 8, a 3-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds that tied Clemens with former Philadelphia Phillies SP Steve Carlton for ninth in wins all-time. "Here we are again talking about things I didn't think we'd be talking about," Clemens said. "To tie Steve Carlton, he's one of the best ever, and to have my name alongside of him is a tremendous honor."
